Scientists are now realizing that we are losing species at unprecedented rates. As such, this biodiversity crisis has pressed scientists to rapidly document nature's bountiful diversity before it is lost. Nonetheless, the meaning and implications of this massive species loss for ecosystem stability and function remain a mystery.

科学家们现在意识到，我们正在以前所未有的速度失去物种。因此，这场生物多样性危机迫使科学家们在大自然的丰富多样性消失之前迅速记录下来。尽管如此，这种大规模物种损失对生态系统稳定性和功能的意义和影响仍然是一个谜。
